War and Roses 1470: The Kingmaker

Warfare

Warfare is best described as a test of arms between two or more armies in the field of combat. Great kings, barons, lords, and other Noble Commanders wage war in two distinct ways, battling between armies at a micro level; and campaigning throughout greater England, Wales, and Ireland at macro level against friend and foe alike.

In War & Roses there are four primary phases of battle: array, forward, mêlée, and the press.

Array
